How Do You Prepare For An Oral Report?
Spending long hours working on an oral report can be tedious. You have to research for accuracy, plan the layout, memorize what you are going to say. This might be worth it, but if it does not turn out how you expected, is very disappointing. • Research your topic. If your topic is quite boring, search for some interesting facts about it that will wow your classmates. • Take notes. Don’t be afraid to jot down details. Be sure to use better words than “nice” or “big.” Rather opt for words such as “gigantic” or “fantastic.” • Add a little something to it. Why not add pictures or make a life size model from the topic. Drawing a time line, especially if it’s a history report, can also work. • Look over your written report, Add details where needed and exchanging words with those that would fit the report better. Practice! Practice! Practice! Look at yourself in the mirror and talk as if you’re in front of people. Make sure that you’re not leaning or fumbling around when you talk.
